I have heard the song you want, but have no immediate access to the lyrics. I MAY be able to pick them up from a friend, but not before hogmanay.If you haven't dug them up by then, I will contact. I remember this much--- the lyrics are [very] "blue". I think the title is "the Weddin' o' McPhee in the Gloamin." |

He heard the song in the army during WW2 and would love to see the lyrics again to bring back happy memories, comradeship, etc. If you can get the lyrics please PM them to me. Thanks again. |

While a PM in addition would be nice; could you post the lyrics here in the forum where everyone will get a chance to see them? (if you find them). Thanks. It makes it a lot simpler in the future if someone else wants the lyrics. |

According to Roud (No.21762) it's published in the revised edition of Herd Laddie O' The Glen (songs of Willie Scott), but only in the 2006 revised edition (not the 1988 version I have!). Mick |
